Long Beach Marathon is taking over my life

Remember the race where I had my ‘redemption’ in the marathon? The race that I love so much and hope that everyone runs once in their life because it’s a fast, flat, fun course and it’s where I may have falling back in love with racing and running? Where I was doing jazz hands like some kind of freak at mile 25 because I was so happy? Where I read the race report and to this day it makes me cry?

I am super excited to share with you guys that I will be leaving my job at the advertising agency that I have worked at for the past year and a half and will be taking a job with ICR, which stands for International City Racing. They put on many races, including the Long Beach Marathon! I am so excited about this opportunity and working with the great team at ICR. I can’t believe that my blog turned into something and now I will be doing marketing, event planning and social media for them. It basically is my dream job and I’m still pinching myself about the opportunity I have in front of me. Running, social media, writing, all things I LOVE! All I can think about is how excited and happy I am for this opportunity.

Don’t worry, I’ll still be the little blogging machine that I’ve become and will still be running tons which I have to share tomorrow some great races that I will be running soon as well. There are some great shorter ones coming up that I’m excited about.

YAY! I’m so excited. Anyways, that is big news for me in my little world and of course since my little world has spilled onto the Internet canvas, you all get to share in my joy!

Hooray! I’m SO very, very proud of you and super duper excited!!! Can’t wait to see how much fun you’re going to hvae and how this will change your life in positive ways. You deserve every bit of the happiness this job will continue to bring! Love you!

Congratulations!! It’s so nice to see deserving people get jobs — and you do deserve it because of your honest excitement about running and runners. I’ve gotten such a kick out of your blog for quite a while now, so this is great news. (I won’t use this comment to ask if they have any more jobs. Nope, that would be shallow of me!)

I follow this blog and don’t always comment. However, this time I had to. This is SO awesome! I’m currently working at a gym and have stumbled into the discovery that I’d like to do gym membership sales. I’m trying to make this happen this year.

I too had an office job previously. I hope your dream job is everything your wanting and more :)

Congrats on the new job!! Doing something you love will make the job that much sweeter. You are inspiration to me to keep blogging and doing the things I love so thank you!! Keep up all your hard work..You’re awesome!

Congrats girls! I trained with ICR last year for the LB Marathon. I love those guys! Can’t wait to hear all about those races you mentioned. I figure that if you endorse them, that they must be ok. Yay for your new job!
